This board was re-launched. I suppose there are still a few of us around since then.

I'm still here! wave

I was here before that relaunch, and I think there was one a couple years before it I was here for as well. I believe I date back to the late 90s on Moparts. That was back in the days they had to start over when they stepped up in power.

Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

I do remember though that the re-registration started at around 6:00 pm est on the 19th and there was a lot of confusion as to what was going on. That confusion and uncertainty made me sit back and wait until there was some clarity that it was the same site before I started putting in info to re-register so I did that at 3:00 am on the 20th morning. You below 200 registries were braver than me, and site hero's now beer up Am I still here BTW? laugh2 wink

I joined in 99, I believe. Dallas board was gone by then, or at least nearly gone.

I can sort of remember starting to lurk around 1996 after I changed positions in the company that gave me internet access at my desk...LOL..

I came over from Mopar Alley after it got cratered in a car deal that went sideways..
But I can't recall what year. When the software switched here, everyone had to re-up their accounts, and lost all prior messages and post count..
Can't believe it was 20 years ago though.

I stumbled across Moparts when I was going through a divorce many many years ago, and found myself being a single dad with a whole lot of new bills and a barnload of old parts. A quick on-line search for 'mopar parts for sale' brought me here. That was...more than two decades ago. A lot of people have come and gone through here, and I miss many of them. Some more than others! For the 'old guys here'.. I never warmed up to OBS, don't know why, and never understood DG, at all, but found I missed her when she left. It was a heck of a board and while I was never a big 'contributor' then, or now, I visited several times a day, and still do when I get a chance. It's still the best board on the net.

Thank you, Tom, for all you've done for me, and for all of us here.

Moparts was just a for sale site then. Then later added the Q&A forum.

I remember the for sale and Q&A board, before the switchover. I think I joined originally in early 2001 right before I bought my Charger, and definitely remember the outcry in 2003 when the board switched. I also remember people complaining that not everyone's usernames transferred over on the same day. Some of us got the 19th, and others got the 20th!

I slipped in the door sometime in 97. wave I've learned more here than I ever would have on my own thru trial and error. A lot of folks have come and gone over the years, and we have lost too many members who seemed like the glue that held a place like this together. Gary Davis comes to mind first. He was a friend to all, and just a great all around guy. His funeral was the hardest one that I've ever gone to. There were almost as many Mopar muscle cars in the procession from the church to the graveyard as there were cop cars! Stu passing was tough also, because he let us know how dire his situation was, communicated while he was able for a very short time and then he was gone. I am a member of a few other car sites, but this will always be home. The board has to change every so often due to technology, so we just need to roll with it. Until then....I'll be here until my day arrives! up

Thanks Tom, for all you have done to keep this place kickin over the years! bow

I think I joined in 98.i usually stop in a couple times amonth but I was always more of a lurker, never posted much.I sold my Barracuda in 2012 and that pretty much ended things for me.It would be nice to pick up another mopar but Im pretty much priced out of the market.

IIRC, I joined the old board in 1998 or so. Found out about it from the MoparChat board.

I don't remember how I found this place. I was on moparchat originally.

Yep, still here but I lurk most of the time now. Lot of the old timers are gone, a few have passed away. I came here around the mid 90s switching from that old Dallas site.
What was the name of the dude that ran the Dallas site? Seemed he was always pandering for money.

He was a friend to all, and just a great all around guy. His funeral was the hardest one that I've ever gone to. There were almost as many Mopar muscle cars in the procession from the church to the graveyard as there were cop cars! Stu passing was tough also, because he let us know how dire his situation was, communicated while he was able for a very short time and then he was gone. I am a member of a few other car sites, but this will always be home. The board has to change every so often due to technology, so we just need to roll with it. Until then....I'll be here until my day arrives! up

Thanks Tom, for all you have done to keep this place kickin over the years! bow


Very well said, beer
and I have been around since 95 or so ? Don't remember but I do know it was between 95 and 7. When I get stressed the wife always send me to Moparts beer

I've been around for more than 20 years as well.
I was on the old Dallas board prior to Moparts, but I also joined Moparts prior to 1998 (96 or 97).

Not familiar with the Dallas site, the only Dave Schultz I remember is the guy who had the 'moparstyle' site for awhile...... and at the time he was from the Houston area. End of Moparstyle


Way back then Dave gave me an 8 1/4 axle out of one of his Magnums to use in a Satellite I had. Got to see his little compound (but didn't get a tour). For whatever reason, I felt very uneasy while there, and it wasn't just from being in a higher tax bracket than I'm used to. shruggy

I remember the MML list was a big deal. That was really before online forums started like Dallas, Moparchat, etc.

MML was just a mass email list that you got every post as an email or you got digest email that contained a couple handfuls or so of emails.

Yeah, I get those two mixed up. Dave was the Moparstyle guy. Don’t remember too much of the Dallas site, not much compared to now.

Twenty years.
Man I don't know
Twenty years, man where did they go?
I sit and I wonder sometimes, where they went.
When the moon comes calling its ghostly white I recall
Like a Rock
I was strong as I could be
I stood proud, I stood strong
Nothing ever bothered me
I stood strong, I stood bold
As sure as I could be
I believed in my dreams
Like a Rock

Thanks Bob!

As far as car builds, the last 20 years have been pretty productive for me, but I wasn't restoring anything, and perfection was not the goal. Having fun and having great drivers was the goal. Lots of fun great drivers.
